 DESCRIPTION OF THE STATUE.
 The statue of Colonel Chatfeld was mod- eled by MT. Bissell in Paris during his last visit to that city, and is declared one of his masterpieces MT. Grenet, the bronze founder in Paris who cast most of the statues on the soldiers monument, cast this statue in bronze and placed it on exhibition at the salon of 1886. During the past summer it has been at the American prize fund exhibition, and was shipped to Waterbury from that place. The pedestal, which is about seven feet high, is of Plymouth granite, and was placed at the grave of Colonel Chatfeld many years ago. The statue is 5 feet inches high and stands on section of fertilization, and an unex- ploded shell is half buried in the sand at his feet The colonel is dressed in the simple close-ftting blouse, cavalry boots, gauntlets and slouch hat, the well-known fighting uni form of soldiers on active duty at the front. His right hand hangs quietly by his side, the hand loosely holding a sword, and the left hand rests by the thumb in his belt. The head is little turned and the face somewhat careworn and serious, the result of hard fighting and constant service in the field GENERAL aILLMoRE's REGRETS.
